EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Obelisk under the Liberty Tree, Boston, 1766 (printed 1773)" is an enduring work of art by the renowned American artist, Paul Revere. The print, which is a combination of an engraving on wove paper and hand-colored illustration, was created during the 18th century but was not printed until 1773. The image depicts a significant historical event that took place in Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States of America. The central focus of the print is the Obelisk, a monument erected in Boston Common in honor of King George II, which is shown standing under the Liberty Tree. The Liberty Tree, a symbol of resistance and rebellion against British rule, is adorned with various emblems, including a rattlesnake and the motto "Join or Die." The print also features portraits of key figures of the time, including King George III of Great Britain, Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and Lord Chatham, who was then known as the Earl of Chatham. The print is an allegorical representation of the tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain leading up to the American Revolution. The Obelisk, which symbolizes British rule, is shown being protected by the Liberty Tree, which represents the American spirit of resistance. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America and the artistic school of the 18th century. It has been exhibited in various galleries and art centers around the world and is an essential addition to any collection of historical and artistic significance.
